A Little Personal Bit
I am mother to Katie & Matthew and wife to Xaver. I have been scrapbooking since my daughter was born however I did keep "old-fashioned" scrapbooks of concerts I went to and other mementos as a teenager. I love the way our hobby has evolved over the years into a fantastic artistic community! I love scrapbooking and teaching--doing them both together is even better!
